• 7 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I would like to refer to page 305, Head 509, Control of Malaria. Nothing has been provided under this Head this financial year. However, if you go to page 306, under Head 780, Special Global Fund - Malaria Control, we have several Items under which provision has been made for various purposes. The issue I want to raise is that, if I understand it correctly, the Global Fund is money which will come from outside Kenya. We do 3010 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES August 7, 2007 not appear to have factored in anything under this Head from ... view
• 7 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, on page 307 Sub-Vote 113 Rural Health Services - Head 335 - Rural Health Centres and Dispensaries, the first Head has an Item called "Training Expenses". I have complained, in the past, that these prints are so small. view
• 7 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I think I agree with you. I think I need to use them. Nevertheless, it is "training expenses". I believe the Minister can see that. Last year, there was a provision of over Kshs269 million. This year, there appears to be Kshs408 million. Could the Minister explain - because we are talking about health centres and dispensaries - who are the people being trained? Is it health personnel who are already serving? How is this to be explained anyway? view
• 7 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, on page 308, Rural Health Services, the Sub-Head is 335 - Rural Health Centres and Dispensaries. The first Item there reads: "Construction of Building". These issues continue to exercise my mind whenever I see them like this. You can see there is a provision there for this year, totalling Kshs30 million. We are talking about rural health centres and dispensaries. "Rural health centres" - is plural - and "dispensaries" means many. Here, the item is: Construction of Building. May I know which is that lucky rural health centre or dispensary that is going to benefit? ... view

• 7 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, the point I am making is this: We have raised this severally. It is "Construction of Building". One! Yet, the Sub-Head is: "Rural Health Centres and Dispensaries". But the Item is "Construction of Building". It has been allocated Kshs30 million. Last year, there was nothing. The year after and the next two years, there is no provision for it. So, it is only one building. May we know where it is so that, as a collective measure, we will go and see that lucky health centre or dispensary? view
• 7 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, if that is correct, then just below there, they should have put Appropriations-in-Aid, that is, on the expenditure side. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, for the umpteenth time, I want to say that it is not right to be given these explanations. Every Minister seems to be telling us the same thing, that there is an "s" missing. The next Item is "Refurbishment of Buildings." This Item runs through all the Ministries. I think the House now needs to take on all the Ministers on this issue. There is something that the technocrats, either through ... view
• 7 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Do I stand to benefit? view
• 7 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, on page 308, the very first Item, 2210700, is Training Expenses. We know that during the last financial year, there was no August 7, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 3013 allocation under that Sub-Vote or even Item. We have just approved the Recurrent Vote. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, could the Minister explain to us what is under the Item, Training Expenses, within the Development Vote for the KMTC? What is it that she is going to do with this Kshs49 million this financial year? We know that she intends to have another Kshs50 million in the ... view
• 7 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, the only explanation I wanted from the Minister is this: She explained it very well, that this money will be used for training and the opening of new colleges. However, this is in the Development Vote and not in the Recurrent Vote, which we have just approved. Could she, please, explain why it is here and not in the Recurrent Vote? view
